<div align="center"> Not working in Email Editor

Hey there beautiful people of the Marketo Community,

Do any of you know why this bit of inline styling isn't working?

It seems so straight forward, but I cannot figure out what's going wrong. Any help would be very helpful.

Thanks in advanced,

Danny T.

I do not think align="center" is a standard HTML property of the <div> tag...

If you want to center your button, it has to be included in a larger object which value is 100% and you should rather use margin-left: auto; margin-right:auto.

Thank you, Gregoire. I was referring to something I read on here: HTML div align Attribute . However, as you pointed out, this isn't the correct way to get the outcome I needed. I'll take your advice and see if it does the trick.

Just to add onto what Grégoire said, margin: 0 auto; does not work well on Outlook 2011&13 if I recall, they need text-align:center; on the wrapper div. You can also just make a small table to actually use the align attribute.

DIVs aren't a good idea in emails. Many email clients don't accept them. You still want to use tables in emails.

Responsive Email 101: HTML & CSS Basics:

DO YOU RECOMMEND USING TABLES OR DIVS?

Email design absolutely requires using a table-based layout and structure. The reason for this is a lack of support for <div>’s by email clients, like Outlook desktop clients, as it pertains to the actual structure and foundation of the HTML. Some email clients do support <div>’s and can be extremely powerful to use for certain hacks and workarounds, especially for responsive email.
